Materials trader location?

Its under services in the galaxy map. You also you can look at the system map and it will inform you what the starport offers.
 
I have tried to use the map filter to locate them, I can’t see a material or data trader anywhere. How do I locate them?

INARA has a list but doesn't show difference between data, manufactured and raw traders. It says this instead:

If you are looking for specific material traders, Raw material traders are usually found at extraction and refinery economies, Manufactured material traders at industrial economies and Encoded material traders at high tech and military economies.
 
This info is readily available in-game. Check the right-hand panel in your ship./
problem is that I have wasted 4 hours today searching for a Manufactured Materials Trader to no avail, yes I have my filters set correctly, I'm so sick and tired of scanning the yellow dots for a Manufactured Material Trader that I have parked this game for now. Its just too annoying and frustrating, barring the fact that ED has a section called services with a nicely labeled filter for each Material trader, what they omit in any print is the fact that these filters will only highlight what has been discovered by CMDR, so one has to manually search tens of haystacks in order to find the needle....

This is gameplay....... I just shake my head.

It also needs to be a high population system. So that can thin down the dots to explore in the area.

Though I am still not sure if you have to dock there or if honking is enough.
